✈️ Red Sea Crisis and Early Peak Season Challenge Asia-Europe Shipping Logistics
The Red Sea crisis continues to force Asia-Europe vessels to divert around the Cape of Good Hope, posing challenges for European importers and logistics providers. The Asia-Europe peak season is expected to end two weeks earlier than usual, complicating the timing of China's Golden Week holiday starting on October 1. With current transit times and delays, there is uncertainty about meeting required deadlines. Many shippers anticipate an extended peak season, aiming to avoid stock shortages for Christmas.
🌍 CN Rail Strikes Still On The Horizon
CN Rail strikes still on the horizon as CIRB has yet to make their decision. They have informed CN that their final ruling will be delivered by August 9th. The CIRB is currently assessing the situation to determine whether the strike should proceed or if other measures need to be taken. No work stoppage can occur until either party files the required 72-hour notice after the CIRB issues its decision, subject to any extension of the cooling off period that may be ordered by the CIRB.
💼 Shein's Supply Chain Expansion Raises U.S. Cybersecurity Concerns
Shein's expansion into selling supply chain technology has raised concerns among U.S. cybersecurity experts about potential spying risks due to its ties to China. Currently in beta testing, Shein's logistics software could expose vulnerabilities in the U.S. supply chain, which relies heavily on interconnected APIs. Small companies with weaker cybersecurity are particularly at risk. Exiger data shows Shein's extensive supply chain network, involving over 10,821 companies, indicating significant security challenges as Shein grows its global logistics footprint.
